ok, i don't know if this is the same problem, but my friend just bought a sled from a guy who said it did the same thing. it would not start when cold with the electric start, but after driving ten/twenty minutes, it would work just fine.

we took the starter apart and i think one of the little brushes was gone, and it just looked like it was in rough shape. he is getting a repair kit that will hopefully fix it.

I believe there is a throw spring that makes the starter engage once it starts spinning.
moisture usually results in a dead spot where the starter won't spin at all but its worth having a look at especially if thats when the problem started
